** Winsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic
Pure Brilliance!
Artists’ Acrylics are unrivaled in their brilliance and depth of color bringing exceptional richness and intensity to your paintings. More than any other acrylic, Artists’ Acrylic colors remain as brilliant and intense when dry as they do when wet meaning virtually no color shift or darkening in tone between palette and canvas. The Artists’ Acrylic range consists of a wide and balanced spectrum of 80 colors including new pigments that are unique to acrylic painters. Artists’ Acrylic comes in the large economical 200 mL tubes.
** Enkaustikos HOT CAKES Encaustic wax paint
Let us introduce you to our line of encaustic paint called Hot Cakes, from Enkaustikos, the most vibrant, creamy colors you’ll find on the market today!
Many contemporary painters are finding encaustic an ideal medium for their works of art. Encaustic wax paint offers incredible working properties. Delicate layering of thin, transparent glazes and the creation of heavy impasto textures are attainable within minutes without concern for fat over lean. Since you are working with liquid wax colors which cool instantly, drying time is not a factor. Techniques using scraping to reveal underlying colors or to add texture are accomplished quite easily.
Unlike other painting mediums, encaustic paintings can be reworked immediately or even years later simply with the addition of heat. An often overlooked benefit of encaustic painting is that it is solvent free, eliminating the need for turpentine and mineral spirits.
